Under the election law passed by the last Legislature there must be an entirely new registration for the election for State, county and town ship officers, for members of the Legislature and for Congressmen to be voted for at the election which takes place on the Tneaday after the first Monday in November next, which will be the fourth day of the month. The law requires that the regis trars shall open their books for reg istering voters twenty days before the Saturday preceding the election, and keep them open every day (Sundays excepted) between the hoars of 9 o'clock A. M. and sun set. On the Saturday preceding the election the registrars are re quired to have the books at the pol ling place in their township or ward, where they shall be open to inspection, and objection may be made to any name that may have been unduly entered. In such case the name objected to shall be marked "challenged," and the registrar shall appoint a time and place before the day of election when he, together with the judges of election, shall hear and decide such objections, after giving personal notice, if he can be found, to the person ob jected to. If the person challenged cannot be found, then such notice may be left at his place of resi dence, which will be sufficient. If the person so challenged be found not duly qualified, the registrar shall erase his name from the books. The law provides, however, that nothing in this section shall prohibit an elector from challeng ing or objecting to the name of any person registered or offering to reg ister at any other time than speci fied in this clause. Under the amended constitution, which applies to this election, the person offering to register mnst be able to read and write any section of the Constitution of North Carolina in the English language, but no male person who was on January 1st, 1867, or at any time prior thereto, entitled to vote under the laws of any State and of the United States, where he then resided, and no lineal de scendant of any such person shall be denied the right to register and vote at any election in the State because of his failure to possess the educa tional qualification. If there be any doubt as to the qualifications of the person offering to register the regis-, trar may require other evidence sat isfactory to him as to the qualifica tions of the applicant. In all cases the applicant shall be sworn before registered, and his race, name, age, place of birth, and, in case of removal, the township, coun ty and ward from which he had re moved, and the registration books containing such record shall be evi dence in court against the applicant in case of prosecution for fraudulent registration. Every applicant for registration shall take an oath (or affirm) that he will support the constitution of the United States and of the State of North Carolina, not inconsistent therewith; that he has been a resi dent of the State of North Caro lina for two years, of the county for six months and of the township, precinct or ward for four months; that he is twenty-one years of age and has not registered In any other township, precinct or ward. If witiin the six months ho has been a resident of some other county, from which he has removed, or of some other precinct or ward, within the four month., he must state that iac in mi oath.

This is the sum and substance in l brief of the election law as it applies to registration under which the next and subsequent elections will be held in this State. 80UTHBBS IHDUSTBIAL PROG RESS Yesterday in speaking of an ex hibit made by the Southern Kail road at an agricultural fair in Des Moines, Iowa, we noted the growing tendency among Western farmers to move Soutward to avail themselves of cheap lands, genial climate and other inducements. As giving some interesting information on this, and also showing the industrial progress of the South we reproduce the fol lowing editorial from the Atlanta Journal of Saturday: From all carts of the South come reports of industrial development and progress such as can be gathered from no other region of this country, proba bly no other In the world. Tne annual report of the Southern Railway Com nanv for the fiscal year ended June SO, 1902, shows that during that period there were located on or near tne company's lines industrial plants amounting in value to $119,441,559, and that there were completed or put ia oneration other plants amounting In value to ss9,U70,95, ine total nam- b:r of these being 565. Referring to the marvellous Increase of cotton manufactories in the South the renort says: "The growth or textile luausmer, which has been such a marked feature of Southern development for several years, has continued, though at leas rate of increase than in the year pre ceding. There were placed in opera tion 43 new plant, and there were 37 additions to oldlplants, representing an increase of 8.857 looms and 368.840 tpinulen, with an aggregate capital of 16.570,350." It must be remembered that these statements refer only to industries along the line of the Southern railway. which ramifies through a very large part of the whole South. It Is stated that at the end of the fiscal year there were in the Southern's territory 21 new textile plants under construction, with an aggregate capital or fS,tu.uou, which will put In operation 7,600 looms and 342,300 spindles. The ton nage of cotton factory products on the lines of the Southern railway also in creased more than 20 per cent, as com pared with the preceding year. The recent annual report of the Cen tral of Georgia railroad gave similar statements of progress in Georgia and Alabama, the States in which that sys tem mainly lies. It was shown that 299 industries, representing 31 lines of manufactures, were located on or adja cent to the road, their total capitaliza tion being 12,898,850, and the number of persona employed 4,062. The Illinois Central has been a pow erful factor in the development of the South, especially the States of Arkan sas, Mississippi and Louisiana. The In dustrial comissioner of this line has re cently submitted a report showing that out of 887 industries established daring the past year along the Illinois Central railroad and its controlled line, the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley, 218, or more than 55 per cent, are south of the Ohio river. The Southern railway's report shows that along its lines there has been re markable progress in agriculture as well as in manufactures; and that dur ing Its last fiscalyear 583 farmers from the North and West purchased 171.255 acres of farm lands at different points along its lines, their purchases repre senting an investment of $3,010,000. The Central railroad reports general agricultural prosperity along its lines, and remarks upon a phenomenal in crease in the acreage of canteloupet, watermelons, strawberries, plums and peaches in territory tributary to the line, and also says that most satisfac tory results have been attained In tne cultivation of sugar cane. 'The Central's report shows also that during the last fiscal year 1.134,779 peach trees were planted in that ter tory, as compared with 357,667 set out during the previous year, and the pi ach tree nursery stock was practi cally exhausted, showing that there was great interest in and a revival of the cultivation of this fruit. The Southern and the Central sys tems cover a large part of the South and the reports they make of condi tions and prospects along their lines are very gratifying. utner railroad systems operating in the South bear similar testimony and make still more conclusive the proofs that the South, as a whole, is on the up grade of prosperity. This is a synopsis in part of the reports of three railroads operating indifferent sections of the South, to each of which a large area of country is tributary. We do not know what the Georgia Central has done in the way of encouraging this development and immigration, but we know that the other two roads have been potent factors in the upbuilding of enterprises and the development of the territory through which their lines run, terri tory which in itself offers attractive inducements. Both the Illinois Central and th Southern hare established informa tion bureaus, the obiect of whinr. ia to gather useful information bearing upaa huo country thronvh wMM, their lines run and to compile this lniormation in suitable form for iiAf lAvfniiT fiTemDtea. woo Where Tderfs Smoke There's fire, the saying runs, and so as a general rale the saying holds true.

Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets regulate tne Dowels. printing and distribution in the sections of this country from which immigrants may be drawn, and also in Europe in those countries whose people would supply a good, indus trious, thrifty class of immigrants, The lines of both of these compa nies now ran through very sparsely settled regions compared with some other sections of the North and West, and yet, considering the re sources of soil, of forest, of mine, quarry and waterfall, with a genial climate, with few extremes of either heat or cold there is no more inviting region in the Western hemisphere, no other region with more ad van tages and fewer drawbacks. There has already been considerable immi gration into the country penetrated by both of these roads, but it hasn't fairly begun yet, for the people of the Xorth and West, the farming people, we mean, have only begun to learn of the inducements the South offers to the industrious, intel ligent tiller of the soil, who isn't too lazy to work and has intelligence enough to work right. There is no more doubt of such a man succeed ing in farming in the South than there is of the water in the creek finding its way to the river, and the water in the river finding its way to the sea. Of course the time of his success and the measure of it will depend much upon the man, his methods, the location of his land and its character. He may buy poor land for a few dollars an acre or less and land that is four times as good for a few dollars more. The latter is the cheaper in the end, although the former may be brought up to fertility by intelligent method per sistently and intelligently applied. We have seen such, and we have known of Northern farmers who have failed because they expected too much from that kind of land, became discouraged, left and gave the land a bad name because they acted foolishly and thought they knew more than anybody and eveiy- body else. But we do not think there Is so much of that kind of foolishness now as there was some yean ago. A better class of immi grants is coming along now, and will continue to come. The trend of immigration will be into the sec tions to which we have referred, which are destined to be among the most densely populated agricultural sections in this country and among the most flourishing, too, for it will be great in manufacturing as in agri culture. GUAEDIHO THE PRESIDES!. We have within the past few vears become so accustomed to reading about the body guards that look to the safety, of our Presidents when they venture out among their fellow citizens that we have ceased to re gard it as strange, but it seems to ns that extraordinary precautions were taken to guard President Roosevelt on the occasion of the reception at his summer home, Monday last, when three hundred special deputies wero sworn in in addition to a force of secret . service men and New York policemen in citizens clothes, who moved about the porch on which the reception took place and about the grounds among the people who gathered there. No one who approached the Presi dent was allowed to carry a stick. umbrella, satchel or anything of that Jond and even the women were re quired to divest themselves of their wraps, and men of their overcoats until after the hand-shaking act. 'JLhis was a sort of neighborhood gathering, and after the President had swung 'round the New England States and through several of the Southern States where he spoke in many places and met thousands of people, where no such extraordi nary precautions were deemed neces sary. Of course there is no telling .what a crank or a wild-eyed " anar chist might do at any time and on any occasion, in spite of all precau tions, and therefore we think that such extraordinary efforts to against possible danger is simply magmiymg u. u there appeared mm to be ground for such precautions it wouldln our opinion be decidedly the better and more sensible thing to dispense with the receptions, which are nothing more than empty shows at their best. A negro vagrant in Kentucky was put up and sold to the highest bid der. The highest bidder was an other negro, who bid $4. He got him and expects to squeeze at least $40 worth of work out of him.

Its work is hardly equaled by any other wonders of modern medical practice. fi guarantee .his fo be true ROBT. R. BELLAMY. Enough has been proven to me regarding the above case and hundreds of Others to demonstrate beyond all question whatever that any of the known forms of skin disease any eruption or breaking out must quickly give way and disappear under the influence of this prescription (known as "D. D. D." ). Cases of Eczema, Salt Rheum, Ring Worm, Psoriasis, Barber's Itch, Acne, etc.,, some of twenty years' standing have been cleared off and permanently cured in a few weeks. In several cases from one to three years have elapsed and there has been no returning sign of the disease. Hundreds of cases cured since the preparation has been placed on sale, show no sign at all of the previous afflic tion and I fully believe they are fermanent cures. Have you besa or dc you know anyone who has been in a living iieH of tor ture with a skin disease? Dispair usually seizes those so afflicted, .iany imagine it is in the blood and too subtle to cure. Doctors have stood ballad and helpless against Eczema. Half of them think its worse forms are blood poison. Ninety nine cases out of a hundred of manifestations on the skin are purely local SKIN disease not BLOOD disease. Healthy blooded people break out as often as any one, the blood has nothing to do with it in most cases. It is a parasite in the skin that spreads. This prescription is today completely clearing away quickly too and permanendy curing every trace of such parasitic trouble and leaves the skin soft, healthy and perfect.

By Telenraoh to the Morning "m- New York, September 16, The cot ton market opened firm snd seven to twelve points higher on a wave of ee; eral buying, in which the shorts and Europe were prominent factor?. The commission houses were liberal buyers of the Winter month;. Northern spin ners bid for the Fall options and the bull contingent supported the list as a whole. Wall street offered Jare amounts of March contracts at the higher prices, this cotton being ab sorbed by local traders who were tempted to deal in that op tion by the abnormal differences between that position and January, a matter of twenty points. The English cable news was decidedly bullish, that market being on some four poiots whereas a bare one point advance bad been anticipated. The bull market at sneculativa centers lo-day originated in a small crop estimate for Texas and Indian Territory by the Galveston News, ten per cant, decrease being in dicated for Texas and save i pr cent, decrease for Indian Territory tompT- d with last year. Then cams a larc number of bullisn private telegrams regarding the crop, smaller esti mates for to morrow's receipts than looked for, a report that the Times-Democrat of New Orleans was about to issue a crop estimate of 10,200,000 baler, a further advance in the Liverpool market and bullish weekly government crop weather re port. The latter declared the bulk of the crop had already beed picked and that an satisfactory yields in the vari ous States have developed. This news carried the whole market sharply up ward, January reaching 8.63 and Sep tember 8.70. Liite in the day there was a reaction of eight to ten points under selling to secure profits by room traders and some of the commission houses, The close was steady, with prices seven to sixteen points higher. Total sales estimated at 550,000 bales, wen aistrioutea tnrougn the list. Wsw lOBL Sept. 16. Cotton dull at 815-16; net receipts 64 bales; gross receipts 6,088 bales; stock 42,55 bales.
